She looked beautiful in a red belted sleeveless dress while her pal rocked a black short-sleeved top and matching shorts.<\/p>\n In one photo, the ladies appeared to be toasting something, as Theresa held her wine glass up to Leslie\u2019s cocktail glass while they sat outdoors.<\/p>\n The pair had a pool day in a photo shared by Leslie\u2019s daughter-in-law Daphne Fhima<\/strong> via an Instagram Story. \u201cFun pool day at Glamma\u2019s,\u201d she wrote above the picture that saw Daphne and her son Yossi, whom she shares with Leslie\u2019s son Eli<\/strong>, sitting between the two reality stars at the edge of a rooftop pool with the Minneapolis skyline behind them.<\/p>\n Theresa looked sensational in a belted one-piece swimsuit while marathon runner Leslie flaunted her abs in a black two-piece.<\/p>\n Fans gushed over the ladies\u2019 post-show friendship.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best part of Golden Bachelor<\/em> was seeing all the contestants bonding and becoming best friends<\/a>. So happy to see Theresa and Leslie spending time together,\u201d one person commented, while another wrote, \u201cHow about we just make this show about women friendships and support\u2026 it\u2019s the best part of what came out of it anyway and what we all loved about it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s awesome that y\u2019all can be friends and laugh and have a good time together and you don\u2019t need a man to define who you are. You\u2019re both beautiful,\u201d a viewer gushed, while another speculated, \u201cI bet the tea is scalding hot,\u201d about what the two discussed.<\/p>\n Leslie was left broken-hearted when Gerry, 72, chose Theresa after \u201call but\u201d proposing to her during their fantasy suite overnight. She went on to explain some of the plans Gerry made with her<\/a> during a December 4, 2023, appearance on the \u201cBachelor Happy Hour\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cHe made plans with me for the future,\u201d she said. \u201cKind of, like, \u2018Save the date, this is what we\u2019re going to do, I can\u2019t wait for us, two more days, we\u2019ll be done with this, be together, start our life.\u2019 Did he say, \u2018Will you marry me?\u2019 in there, no, but he all but said that. I mean, I would\u2019ve been happy with just, \u2018I love you,\u2019 but he took it to a different level.\u201d<\/p>\n After Gerry proposed to Theresa and gave her his final rose, the pair married in a televised wedding on ABC on January 4. The duo stunned fans during an April 12 appearance on Good Morning America<\/em> when they announced they were divorcing<\/a>.<\/p>\n On April 15, Theresa took to Instagram<\/a> and explained, \u201cIt was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, something I never expected to happen at this point in my life and I truly thought it was going to last forever. It turns out, even at the age of 70, you don\u2019t know everything<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Golden](\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Golden-Bachelors-Theresa-and-Leslies-Girls-Day-in-Minnesota-2.jpg?fit=400%2C706&quality=86&strip=all\")
